We had a wonderful dinner at Saluda. Ambience is very nice in this beautifully appointed dining room. There’s a pretty wrap around porch with tables and ceiling fans allowing you to take in a nice Five Points view from this 2nd story restaurant. The food and service was excellent. If you’re debating it, reserve it!

The manager, Sam, was very accommodating with the menu change for me and my friend. Our waiter, also bartender, was fabulous and very attentive and helpful! Food was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to go back! Thank you to Golden Spur!

Had such a great experience at Probation! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was on point, and the live DJ really brought the whole vibe together. Everything from the energy to the service made it a great night out. Definitely a place I would recommend and visit again. 10/10 experience! 🍽️🎶✨

We always enjoy coming here when we visit our son at college. The food is consistently good and service is always excellent. It’s usually not a long wait at all which is nice when there are hundreds of families in town at the same time. The menu has something for everyone.

This was an excellent choice for a pre-Mother's Day celebration. The food was great. I especially enjoyed the attitude, professionalism, and attentiveness of the staff from the time we checked in at the downstairs lobby to the wait staff, assistant manager, and checking out at the elevator. Kudos to everyone involved. My guests, especially my friend's 15-year-old granddaughter was really impressed as this was her first time at this venue.

Absolutely amazing experience! Everyone was so nice and professional. They really made my mom feel special for her birthday. The food was delicious, my first brunch with them. The mimosas were perfect. From the moment we approached the building until we left the hostess was wonderful. Our server was so patient and helpful. I appreciate everyone that made mom’s 70th so fun.

Shrimp Scampi was excellent. We received more than great service from Tammy. Scollops, though good, were a disappointment next to the shrimp. The Brussel Sprouts, new to the menu, and vanilla cream cheesecake were both incredible. Overall a very good dining experiance.
